Design Thinking Project Ideation Report: Global Mobility of Artist at Digital Art Field
About the Report
Different stakeholders from 22 countries playing an active role in the digital art field participated in research and insight definition stage. The first ideation workshop of the design thinking project aimed at “increasing global mobility of artists in the digital art field” was organized at Istanbul Akbank Sanat. Artists, curators, academicians, engineers and executives of the art foundations working in this field took part in the workshop. Research results and insights were analyzed utilizing Empathy Mapping, Mind Mapping and Affinity Mapping techniques at the ideation workshop together with the participants. Then, creative ideas were generated in a way to affect global movement of the artists as well as communication and interaction between stakeholders positively with the Brain Dump technique on the basis of insights.
